How to Make Baked Stuffed Seafood Casserole

  3. Add mayonnaise (1 cup), sour cream (1/2 cup), Dijon mustard (1 tbsp), Old Bay seasoning (1 tbsp), salt (1 tsp), and pepper (1/2 tsp). Mix gently to combine.
  4. Pour the seafood mixture into the prepared baking dish.
  5. In a separate bowl, combine bread crumbs (2 cups), melted butter (1/2 cup), and grated Parmesan cheese (1/2 cup).
  6. Sprinkle the breadcrumb mixture evenly over the seafood filling.
  7. Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the casserole is bubbly and heated through.
  8. Let stand for 10 minutes before serving. Garnish with fresh parsley (optional).

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
